Let's have a little fun!
This should be an energy-raising exercise. Last year I decided to do a few of the exercises from "Ask & It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks. In one of them, I was instructed to make a virtual checkbook. I was to make a virtual deposit, and then write virtual checks to spend all I had deposited. Next day, I was to double the deposit and again spend it all.
It was great fun, but as you can imagine, by doubling the money each day it didn't take long before it was hard to find something I still wanted that cost that much. Even though I was first 'spending' 10% on pet charities, it got overwhelming.
I found myself laughing out loud each day as my spending got more and more outrageous. Interestingly enough, during the time I was doing this exercise, real money was pouring in from some very unexpected places. Coincidence? Maybe.
The other day I came across my virtual checkbook and skimmed over some of my virtual purchases. It was amazing how many of the early, not-so-outrageous ones have become manifest. And I found my spirits lifted just reading it. I think I'll take it up again, just for fun.
Some of my fun 'purchases': an anniversary cruise, new furniture, cars, and a couple of rental properties.
What would you buy for fun if your income suddenly started to double every day? And if you are a serious type who would forego the fun and first take care of practical matters, what would they be?
